Your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer at the above link. You will notice that they have had a recent run in with the FDA also.

The most important issue in my opinion is making sure that the channels are clear prior to putting a scope into the wash chamber. The machine has no way of knowing whether or not the disinfectant is flowing through all of the channels.

I agree with an earlier statement. Contact the manufacture. They have excellent policies on thier products.

Also the FDA issue has been resolved with this company.
